Makes complete sense to me but I think the issue here is the single engined "light jet" my be spring loaded towards a turn back towards the field in the event of an engine failure...
decent spot to throw a jet but should be considered in an emergency brief, particularly if you’re going to cross behind your lead in the event of an EFATO. High SA for sure....
